Rule V Draft

I don't think the accident was that serious and the fact that he played all year at AA an performed well is the biggest reason why a team might take him, since that would make him a guy that is almost MLB ready unlike other guys who have more upside, but have only played in A ball.

More than a year after sustaining serious injuries in an off-season car accident, former top outfield prospect Alfredo Silverio will be back in spring training with the Dodgers.

Dodgers outfield prospect Alfredo Silverio, who had a breakout season in Double A Chattanooga last year, was involved in a significant car accident in the Dominican Republic on January 23. Silverio suffered injuries to his back, shoulder, elbow, and neck, but is also still suffering concussion symptoms nearly six weeks after the accident. There is no timetable for his return to baseball activities, let alone playing in games.

He's not ready for the big leagues yet, there is a reason they took him off the 40.

But one guys opinion, and it's tough to do such a list; guarantee the actual draft doesn't look like the list (unlike the amateur draft where you have a pretty good idea about where guys will go in the first round).

Thanks. I was aware of Mayo's short list. That's where I found most of the players I wound up liking. But I was looking for a more comprehensive list of available players so I could do my own evaluations. It's looks like a moot point since Sandy said they're probably not taking anyone.
